What's your background in ultimate? I started playing with a couple of friends my sophomore year of high school. We were recruited by my art teacher to play when she formed a girls team at our school. This is my 6th year playing. I've played for my high school team (X Chromosomes), Kali, and Jackwagon.

Favorite movie? Jurassic Park

Favorite book? All the Harry Potters

Favorite food? Chocolate and Mac n Cheese

Favorite animal? Puffins

Walk up song? Sorry not Sorry by Demi Lovato

Pump up song? Me Too by Meghan Trainor

What's your favorite Kali memory? Warming up and playing during our semi finals game against Texas. There was so much Kali weird and love. And doing our "I believe" cheer after every game. It's so powerful.

Why do role models matter? Role models matter because they show you an example that you can strive towards. They can show you little parts of the person you want to become.

What does equity mean to you? To me, equity means feeling empowered by being a women in ultimate and not feeling like it is detrimental.

What's your favorite quote? "You keep worrying you're taking up too much space. I wish you'd let yourself be the milky way." - Andrea Gibson
